Get busy with your life, I will have baby number 4 – Mercy Johnson blasts critics

Renowned Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie has blasted critics who
threw shades at her for not spacing the birth of her children.
The mother of three who was reported to be pregnant for her fourth
child, said those criticizing her have nothing to do with their lives.
In a chat with Vanguard, the busty thespian said her fans should
expect baby number four soon, since most of them had nothing better to
do than to watch her stomach.
She said, “I feel that when you haven’t gone through life and you
don’t have a bearing in life, that’s when you see certain decisions as
unreasonable. Most of these people who make these statements have not
even realized what they want to do with their lives yet. They should
expect baby number four from me.
“I had planned my life right from when I was growing up. I arranged
my life the way I wanted it to go. And that is why even when I was at
the peak of my career and marriage came, I grabbed it because I know age
keeps going and time waits for no one.
“It means that I can have all of my four kids and then still get back
to shape and come back to what I love to do. So I am not going to say
things like, ‘I don’t want to have kids yet’ or ‘I am not going to get
married and I want to keep acting because the young shall always grow’,
you are not going to be number one forever. That is why when it is time
for you to do something, you do it.
“Yoruba will always say in their prayers that when the time for a
child to talk has come, by the grace of God, she will talk. When it’s
time to go to school, he will go to school. That’s what I’m trying to
do. I want to define my life in a way my daughter will want to define
her own life,” the comic actress said, noting that criticisms don’t get
to her.
